O engenheiro Oliver Williamson ganhou o prêmio Nobel de economia. Williamson é filho da tradição do MIT e de Carnegie Mellon, onde foi aluno de Herbert Simon. Seu livro sobre as Instituições Econômicas do Capitalismo define firmas, mercados e relações contratuais como instrumentos para analisar os custos de transação. Williamson segue os passos de Ronald Coase e Douglass North com o seu programa de mercados e hierarquias.

Marketing now has access to highly granular data, including the physical location of an individual, as well as their click, search, social networking, and detailed buying habits. In addition to the passive and private parsing of prior purchase patterns, however, people now proactively and publicly post their personal preferences: data has become "social."

Leonard acaba de tentar suicídio de novo, sem sucesso. Na volta para casa, a câmera o acompanha atravessando, da direita para a esquerda, o corredor cheio de fotos de família do apartamento de seus pais. Fica claro já nesse começo de Amantes (Two Lovers, 2008) que Leonard, interpretado por Joaquin Phoenix, carrega nas costas o peso do mundo.

A cidade de Nova York é o cenário de outro filme, When Harry Meets Sally, http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/when_harry_met_sally/. A mudança de geração entre estes dois filmes é marcante. Depois de encontros e desencontros, o final do filme destaca o casamento feliz de Hary e Sally, Billy Crystal e Meg Ryan, http://gonyc.about.com/library/tv_movie/aa_whenharry.htm. O triângulo entre Joaquin Phoenix, Gwyneth Paltrow, Vinessa Shaw, está presente na obra de Isaac B. Singer, http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/two_lovers/.

China's largest city languished for 30 years as the Chinese economy was closed to outside influence, and the country went through the political turmoil of the cultural revolution.

All this was dramatically changed when the country opened up its markets to the West in the 1980s, and Shanghai was given the green light to "get rich".

In the last 15 years, the city has been transformed into a glittering metropolis of 21 million people, with more skyscrapers than New York and a public transport system that will soon overtake London's in size.

Não se paga necessariamente o preço da platitude quando se adota o estilo ligeiro e sedutor da escrita. O texto de Loïc Wacquant apresenta uma novidade, patente já no subtítulo. Nele, o observador que descreve se insere ele próprio como objeto e sujeito da observação. As notas etnográficas são, ao mesmo tempo, as de um antropólogo em trabalho de campo e as de um aprendiz de boxeador.

Com a introdução gradativa da TV Digital a médio prazo (entre 2005 e 2010), espera-se uma verdadeira transformação do atual conceito conhecido de TV a partir da convergência intensa com a Internet avançada (fixa e móvel) e do desenvolvimento de meios eletrônicos interativos minimamente invasivos (dispositivos portáteis, interfaces naturais, microsensores e atuadores).
